candidates can list the various skills they have, the more expertise
will certainly be better for recruiters' consideration.
What job seekers should include in their Curriculum Vitae:

Curriculum Vitae, usually containing name, place of birth, address,
religion, marriage certificate, and telephone number.

have been educated along with the year

have worked, and occupied what position / position / division and in
